UAV Inspection of Buildings, Structures, Confined Spaces and Dangerous Areas

Terra Measurement’s drone asset inspection has already transformed the workflows for many of our clients, reducing costs, time on site and increasing job safety.

A drone inspection is the process of using an unmanned aircraft to assess an asset. In this case, drones literally become the eyes of the inspector.

What are the benefits of drone inspections?

Drones have the advantage of reaching places that are difficult, expensive, dangerous, live or even impossible to access by manned inspection teams, and they can be used for indoor, underground, onshore or offshore purposes.
Drones collect incredibly high-quality data, which can be archived to create a detailed record of an asset’s lifecycle.
Drones can conduct automated, repeatable missions, ensuring the data is consistent each time – especially vital for regular and comparative checks. This data is easily shareable using standard software and analytical tools, such as Pix4D or DJI Terra.

Large Scale Topographical Surveys, Terrain Models and Orthomosaic Overhead Images

Large areas can be captured by UAV Photogrammetry or Lidar in an efficient timeframe for minerals exploration or site feasibility studies.

We use best practice methods and consult our clients to ensure they are getting the data and accuracies they need. We often suppliment a UAV Survey with traditional Topographical Survey methods to ensure a dataset is accurate and complete.

When areas are densly vegetated, we can deploy UAV Lidar to penetrate through leaves and vegetation to locate the best possible terrain levels efficiently, With prior planning, UAV surveys can be commissioned and flown over key areas within a larger project over a relatively small timescale.

These terrain models are a cost efficient method of investigating potential routes for pipelines, new road routes, new railway routes, wind farms and land use studies.

Confined or Dangerous Spaces

We have various specialist drones that can safely inspect with video and images. We now also have the capability to complete confined space 3D laser scanning to gain as much information as possible whilst deployed in a difficult to access space.

Although we have confined space qualified staff, we will always seek to find a safe yet comprehensive alternative to putting humans at risk. There are a huge amount of industrial, energy, machinery and plant spaces that are not safe for people to access. We aim to provide a completely safe and inspection and measured survey solution.

Timelapse or Video Installations

With a variety of solutions, we can provide high definition timelapse and video media for construction or events to provide and share innovative digital content.

Monitoring Construction with timelapse is a powerful tool, providing important added value for your construction progress reporting. It can provide both real-time project progress tracking and promotion on social media or websites.

We can provide innovative cloud based systems that you or your team can look at anytime.

Photography and Cinematic Filming

Whether as part of a UAV inspection or survey, or as a specific commission - we can bring your site or project to life to be shared to customers, stakeholders or website visitors.

Our expert and professional team use our fleet of UAVs (spanning from huge to tiny) to create cinematic video, aerial images, hyperlapse/timelapse or 'supercharged' fast fly through experiences.
